USING THE RELIANCE TRANSFER SWITCH WITH A GENERATOR
THIS RELIANCE TRANSFER SWITCH IS NOT FOR "DO-IT-YOURSELF" INSTALLATION. Installer must be
thoroughly familiar with electrical wiring systems. This Reliance Transfer Switch is designed to provide, in the
event of a utility power outage, a safe and simple method of powering a single 125 volt circuit from a portable
generator with a 125 VAC output. The SPDT selector switch will feed the circuit load from either the utility or
the generator, and prevent backfeeding of one source from another.
KEY COMPONENTS OF THE TRANSFER SWITCH
SELECTOR SWITCH. Selects either "LINE" (utility) or "GEN" (generator) as the source feeding the circuit load.
POWER INLET. NEMA L5-20 configuration. Inputs power from the portable generator.
TRANSFERRING FROM UTILITY POWER TO GENERATOR POWER
1. Move the selector switch handle to the "OFF" or “LINE” position.
2. Insert the male power cord plug into the appropriate outlet on the generator. If locking receptacle is used,
rotate to lock.
3. Insert the female power cord connector into the power inlet located on the lower face of the transfer switch.
Rotate to lock.
4. Start the generator, following the procedures described in the generator owner's manual furnished by the
generator manufacturer.
5. Move the selector switch knob to the "GEN" position to energize load from generator.
TRANSFERRING FROM GENERATOR POWER BACK TO UTILITY POWER
